June 13, 2009

Join local Professional Forester Ed Borczon and learn how to indentify the native trees and shrubs found in and around the Enniskillen Conservation Area. This workshop is suitable for landowners in the Oak Ridges Moraine and beyond, with an interest in identifying the native trees and shrubs in their woodlots and plantations. We will be in the classroom and out on the trails, so dress for the weather and bring along sturdy footwear. The event will go rain or shine. We suggest bringing a digital camera, as it provides a great medium to capture the different leaves, buds, barks and twigs – all the tree parts that will help you become more knowledgeable about the forests around us. Registration is required as space is limited. A light lunch will be provided. This workshop is sponsored by the Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation as part of the Caring For the Moraine Landowner Contact Program. Meet at the Education Building.
